Definitions

  • Multi-use rub-on antiperspirant and deodorant (APDO) products are currently marketed in a multi-use canister with a means to dispense the product through an applicator affixed to the top of the canister.
  • the applicator is typically shaped in a way so as to fit the contours of the underarm, and is commonly molded using a polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyester (pest), polyvinylchloride (PVC) or similar thermoplastic material.
  • PP polypropylene
  • PE polyethylene
  • PVC polyvinylchloride
  • These current applicator designs are known to have in-use disadvantages such as (a) insufficient product spreading, (b) being too hard thus irritating to rub in the underarm, and (c) being too loud thus giving the consumer the perception of irritation.
  • One approach to solving these problems is to formulate the product to be less viscous, such as a cream or gel.
  • these product-applicator combinations generally feel too slimy to the consumer during
  • US 5727892 discloses a device for applying and packaging a substance in the form of a liquid or a paste, such as a cosmetic, comprising a reservoir and a dome-shaped applicator communicating internally with the reservoir and provided with outlet orifices for the substance to be dispensed.
  • the applicator comprises an inner wall of rigid or semi-rigid plastic material fixed to the reservoir, and pierced by feed orifices, an outer membrane supported by the inner wall and having dispensing orifices in alignment with the feed orifices, but of smaller substance-passing section; and also internal closure studs for closing the dispensing orifices and located with clearance inside the feed orifices.
  • the membrane is also capable of moving resiliently away from the closure studs under the effect of dispensing pressure in the substance so as to enable the substance to be move out from the applicator.
  • an applicator contains an anti-perspirant or deodorant product.
  • the applicator comprises an applicator dome having a first material and a second material, the first material being made of a thermoplastic elastomer and the second material being made of a material having more rigidity than the first material.
  • the second material provides structural support for the first material and the applicator dome has an outward-deflection value on application of a 500-gram load ranging from 0.000mm to 0.4mm.
  • an applicator dome has a first material and a second material, wherein, the first material has a Dimethicone Droplet Spread Rate value from about 200mm 2 to about 900mm 2 .
  • an applicator dome has an inward-deflection value of at least 0.17mm.
  • an applicator dome has a wet-drag value ranging from about 300mJ to about 600mJ.
  • an applicator dome has a dry-drag value ranging from about 500mJ to about 3000mJ. In yet another unclaimed embodiment, an applicator dome has an increase in wet-drag value of at least 150mJ after four product application strokes onto an application surface.
  • Applicator 10 is disclosed.
  • Applicator 10 is a screw dispensing package commonly used in applying deodorant and other materials.
  • Applicator 10 employs a screw mechanism hand wheel 50 to move an elevator 30 within a container body 40 which pushes product 80 from the container body 40 through the applicator dome 20.
  • an applicator dome with soft material application surface is disclosed.
  • the applicator dome 20 is perforated with apertures 60 to allow the passage of product 80.
  • Applicator base material 30 provides support and a means of attachment for soft applicator surface 70.
  • Base material 30 and soft applicator surface 70 may be joined using known connection means, including but not limited to, co-injection molding, insert molding, and adhesion.
  • Drag is defined as the amount of energy required to move a flat plaque of material across a surface under a fixed force exerted normal to the application surface. Thus, drag is the result of both frictional and mechanical resistance to lateral movement across the surface.
  • dry-drag is measured without any product applied to the plaque.
  • Wet-drag is measured with product applied to the plaque.
  • Figure 5a depicts a dry-drag test method 100 used to quantify the energy necessary to drag a plaque 110 of a soft material 70 across a skin-like substrate 120 (for example, boltaflex vinyl which may be purchased from Irvin & Alan Company).
  • a skin-like substrate 120 for example, boltaflex vinyl which may be purchased from Irvin & Alan Company.
  • the skin-like substrate 120 is cut into a rectangular shape having dimensions of about 254mm (10 inches) long and about 76.199mm (3 inches) wide.
  • the skin-like substrate 120 is adhered to a supporting horizontal planer surface 130 using double-faced adhesive tape (not shown).
  • a plaque 110 of soft material 70 is cut into a rectangular shape having dimensions of about 50.8mm (2 inches) long and about 19.049 mm(0.75 inches) wide and from about 3.175mm (0.125) to about 7.6199mm (0.3 inches) thick.

  • Figure 6a depicts a wet-drag test method 200 used to quantify the energy necessary to drag a plaque 210 of a soft material 70 across a skin-like substrate 220 (for example, boltaflex vinyl which may be purchased from Irvin & Alan Company).
  • a skin-like substrate 220 for example, boltaflex vinyl which may be purchased from Irvin & Alan Company.
  • the skin-like substrate 220 is cut into a rectangular shape having dimensions of about 254mm (10 inches) long and about 76.199mm (3 inches) wide.
  • the skin-like substrate 220 is adhered to a supporting horizontal planer surface 230 using double-faced adhesive tape (not shown).
  • a plaque 210 of soft material 70 is cut into a rectangular shape having dimensions of about 50.8mm (2 inches) long and about 19.0499mm (0.75 inches) wide and from about 3.175mm (0.125) to about 7.6199mm (0.3 inches) thick.
  • Plaque 210 is attached to a sled 240 using double-faced adhesive tape (not shown).
  • Approximately 0.4 grams of product 80 is uniformly coated onto the bottom surface of plaque 210.
  • Sled 240 with attached plaque 210 and product 80 is placed at the far end of the skin-like substrate 220. Sled 240 is then loaded with a 500-gram weight 250.
  • a vertically oriented Instron 260 (or any similar load cell device having the capabilities of controlled motion, force measurement, and data acquisition) is attached to the sled 240 using a string 270 routed 90 degrees over a pulley 280. Remove any slack from string 270, initialize Instron 260 and set the traverse speed to 1270mm (50 inches) per minute. Sled 240 is then pulled a distance of approximately 152.399 (6 inches). A force versus displacement plot is then produced, example in Figure 6b entitled "Pass 1". From this plot, the energy necessary to drag plaque 210 of soft material 70 across skin-like substrate 220 is calculated. To replicate the consumer experience of applying product 80 (e.g.
  • an applicator dome 20 made with TPE will exert more drag energy (and subsequently more shear to spread the product 80) after each stroke, while the first stroke is smooth and the later strokes are rougher however lubricated.
  • the TPE material exerts more total drag energy (1079mJ) than the polypropylene (943mJ), an increase of 14%. Therefore, an applicator dome 20 made with TPE will provide better shearing and spreading than an applicator made with conventional materials.
  • a soft material 70 having increased Dimethicone Droplet Spread Rate (DDSR) properties for hydrophobic product ingredients e.g. cyclomethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, volatile and non-volitile isoparaffins, volatile and non-volatile dimethicone ranging in viscosity from 0.65 centistokes to about 12000 centistokes, mineral oil, or other similar hydrophobic materials
  • DDSR is a measure of the rate a drop of dimethicone spreads on a flat surface of a material.
  • the test method for calculating DDSR begins with dropping a single droplet of dimethicone onto a flat sheet of the material.
  • the droplet should be created by using a syringe fitted with a Monoject 250 hypodermic needle (20GA x 25.4mm (1 inch); having a squared-off tip accomplished by sanding) and dropped on the material from a height of about 50.8mm (2 inches). Then after waiting 75 seconds, estimate the approximate area of the puddle formed by the droplet by measuring the puddle's width and length.
  • DDSR is the area of the puddle in square millimeters (mm 2 ).
  • the chart below shows the results of testing conventional materials and TPE materials.
  • an increase in DDSR results in an increase in the efficiency of spreading of hydrophobic product ingredients (e.g. antiperspirant or deodorant).
  • the increased DDSR indicates an increased attractive force between the material (e.g. TPE) and the hydrophobic product ingredients. These attractive forces act to retain the product on the material. If this material is added to an applicator dome 20, then the product would remain on the applicator dome 20 longer during product application which would result in improved spreading of the product.
  • one preferred embodiment for an applicator dome may comprise of at least one material having a Dimethicone Droplet Spread Rate value from about 200mm 2 to about 900mm 2 , more preferably from about 250mm 2 to about 500mm 2 .
  • Figure 7a and 7b depicts a method 300 for measuring product spread.
  • a skin-like substrate 310 for example, boltaflex vinyl which may be purchased from Irvin & Alan Company
  • a single-dose of product (about 0.25 gram) from the applicator 10 is dispensed and applied to the skin-like substrate 310 during a 254mm (10-inch stroke) under a 500-gram load 340.
  • This product spread data shows that a TPB material with a DDSR of 319 provides 10% more product coverage than a conventional applicator material (polypropylene) with a DDSR of 79.
  • a soft material 70 having a decreased durometer value is added to applicator dome 20.
  • Durometer is a measure of hardness.
  • the durometer value also known as Shore A hardness value
  • ASTM D2240-97 The table below provides the durometer value for both conventional and TPE materials.
  • FIG. 8 shows an example of a test method 400 for calculating inward deflection.
  • Applicator 10 is placed inside of Instron 410 (e.g., model 8511), more specifically, between moving top plate 420 and stationary bottom plate 430. As top plate 420 travels downward at a rate of about 0.3175mm (0.0125 in) sec, it exerts force onto applicator dome 20. The applied force and resulting inward deflection are electronically acquired. The amount of inward deflection at a 500-gram load is reported below.
  • Instron 410 e.g., model 8511
  • applicator dome 20 is made using a material having a lower durometer value which results in an increased inward deflection, then product spreading will be increased.
  • two samples having the same type of material i.e., Kraton G2607 but having different underlining support (i.e.
  • FIG. 9 shows an elevated sectional view of an example of a test method 500 for measuring outward deflection.
  • the bottom portion of the container body 520 of an empty product package is cut away to expose the underside of the applicator dome 20.
  • Two dowel pins 530 slide through holes drilled in the side of the container body 520. These dowel pins support the applicator dome 20 in an upside-down position on the test apparatus 540.
  • a rod 550 attached to the Instron 560 travels downward at a rate of about 0.3175mm (0.125 in) /sec, it exerts a force to the inside wall of the applicator dome 20.
  • the applied force and resulting outward deflection are electronically acquired.
  • the amount of outward deflection at a 500-gram load is reported below.
  • Product weeping is defined as the separation of a fluid product component from an APDO product resulting from a stress applied to the APDO product. If applicator dome 20 has a high outward deflection, then the stress imparted into the applicator dome 20 would be rebounded onto the product resulting in product weeping. As such, until recently, it has been believed that an antiperspirant/deodorant (APDO) applicator dome 20 should be molded entirely of hard, rigid thermoplastic materials such as PP, PE, PET, PVC, and similar materials.
  • APDO antiperspirant/deodorant
  • an applicator dome 20 may be constructed with a stiffer material underneath (e.g., polypropylene) a layer of TPE, as exampled in Figure 4 .
  • This embodiment provides sufficient inward deflection for improved product spreading while minimizing outward deflection to minimize product weeping.
  • an applicator-product wet-drag value may be increased into the new preferred range by merely change from a conventional applicator dome to a TPE dome without having to reformulate the product (e.g., Secret Platinum with G6730 and G7930, Speed Stick Gel with G2706, etc.). This technique is possible after having discovered the unexpected reduction in dry-drag value and preferred resulting wet-drag value of TPE applicators.
  • TPE materials for applicator domes decreases the level of audible noise.
  • the TPE material provides dampening of noise and shock absorption which results in a lower level of audible noise.
  • the consumer associates such audible noise with irritation of the skin. Accordingly, it is beneficial to minimize the level of audible noise.
  • a decibel meter (Quest Technologies - model 2900) was used in a consumer study to measure the noise generated from applicators being rubbed against women's leg razor stubble (similar to underarm razor stubble, however, less offensive to examine). The women were told not to shave their legs for 1 to 2 days before conducting this test. The lower leg of each participant was tested.
  • Audible noise during application Conventional Decibel level Polypropylene - Dow H700 12NA 31.8 dB Thermoplastic Elastomers Kraton G2706 (GLS Corporation) 24.3 dB * * 24.3 equals the background noise in the test facility. The sound generated from the TPE applicator dome was insufficient to be measured above the background noise in the test facility.
  • Audible noise of various locations Decibel level Bathroom Background Noise 20 - 30 dB Toilet Flush 70 - 80 dB Faucet Running Water 60 - 70 dB Hair Dyer 70 - 80 dB Bathroom Exhaust Fan 55 - 70 dB
  • thermoplastic elastomers include all suitable materials having a Shore A hardness ranging from Shore A 3 to Shore A 95 selected from the groups of thermoplastic elastomers, thermoplastic vulcanizates, thermosetting or vulcanized elastomers, ethylene copolymers and terpolymers, propylene copolymers and terpolymers, closed or open cell polymeric foam, and mixtures or compounds thereof.
